A GLOVE DIRECTS THE BALL
Harold Callaway, a member of the teaching staff of profes
sionals at the Pinehurst Country Club has sold more than 500
of his wrist restraint golf gloves, which restrict over cocking the
wrists on the back swing and makes you pivot, thus avoiding those
terrific slices.
Bobby Jones has written Mr. Callaway that he'considers “this
glove is a valuable aid in the hands of a competent instructor,** and
Horton Smith and Dick Metz have recommended it to develop a
proper swing,
Mr. Callaway will be pleased to demonstrate this glove at
the Pinehurst Country Club to those “all forlorn** golfers who
want to cure a slice or a pull, and hit the ball down the alley.

CAMDEN POLO GAME
AT 3.00 P.M. TODAY
Pinehurst’s No. 2 field, revamped, enlarged and greatly im
proved, will resound today with the thud of pounding hoofs as
Pinehurst Polo Club will go into action at 3:00 o’clock, against a
strong Camden, S. C., four.
The skirmish will be a return game for one played at Camden
earlier in the season, in which the locals were losers. On their
home field and with more practice together, the Pinehurst players
believe it will be a different story today.
A really thrilling and spectacular clash can be counted on,
as the Camden players are bringing a strong team.
The enlarged field will allow much more parking space, and
a better view of the play. The loud speaker today will be handled
by an expert announcer, and in every way the spectators are
going to enjoy watching the match. A record crowd is likely to
greet the teams, and Earl Shaw and Merrill Fink have made all
plans to take good care of them.

Jones Makes Mincemeat of Ham
Horace Jones, 175 pounds, a
porter of the State Sanatorium,
made mincemeat out of Ham
Braboy, 210 pounds,, Hartsville,
S. C., in the fourth round of a
scheduled ten round wind-up be
tween colored heavyweights at
the Amusement Center last
night. Jones was 1939 175 lb.
colored Charlotte Golden Gloves
Champion.
The Ham went down under a
shower of blows as if he had
been hit by a skillet. Horace
landed a right and left to the
thin, a right to the dhest. Bra
boy began to back away, an
to fold up. A left hook to the
midriff finished him.
The Ham went down in his
/
own corner, and assumed a pos
ture similar to a Miami Beach
vacationist out for a sun tan.
It was the real thing.
The program was a vast im
provement over last week.
There were two technical
KOs. In the second bout, be
tween “Red” Kennedy of the
Pinehurst power plant and Wil
lie Brody of Vass, the KO was
called, after a series of straight
Brody shots to Kennedy’s face
put him out of commission in
the second round.
In the fourth bout, James
Overton of Sanford, 18 year old
elevator boy of the Carolina Ho
tel, came out of his corner with

ACTIVE TRAINING OF
HARNESS HORSES AT
TRACK IS STARTED

Smith Stable, Shows Well in

Colt Trained by Miller.
By Wayne Groves
Pinehurst Race Track, Saturday
Active training began in ear
nest out at the Pinehurst race
track this week, as the various
trainers had all of the aged
members of their stables head
ed the right way of the track,
going miles from 2:35 to 2:45.
Up until this week, for the most
part, the aged horses have been
receiving only slow jog work,
but now they are moving into
the real training period, and
will be stepped along a bit fast
er each week,, until miles
around 2:10 will be rather com
mon.
Though the older horses will
be in the picture from now on,
yet it is the colts that will
hold the spotlight of attention
for the next two months. Those
that have been raced before
are naturally expected to race
back to their former efforts, or
perhaps a bit better, but the
nearly half a hundred two year
olds are really “on trial.” What
they can show in the next sixty
days will to a large measure
determine their future useful
ness as race horses. Some few
are nice gaited and can show
speed right from the beginning,
while others will fumble around
through several weeks and pos
sibly months, and then just
overnight, hit their stride, an<
go on to be among the season’s
stars. Others that show much
promise m their early lessons,

GEORGE T. DUNLAP JR.
ANNEXES 7TH STRAIGHT
TIN WHISTLE TITLE
_n
Defending Champion Finishes
With 141, After 69 Made On
No. 3 Course; Hunter Second
With 143, After a Final
Round of 70.
George T. Dunlap Jr. won the
Tin Whistle Club golf cham
poinship yesterday for the
seventh consecutive season, by
making a brilliant finish on the
final nine of number three,
which he played in 32 strokes.
Twos at the short holes were
important. His scores were 72
on number two Friday and 69
on number three today for a
total of 141. He won last year
with, this figure.
James T. Hunter was the
only member in a field of 67
starters .to give Mr. Dunlap a
battle for the title, and at the
27th hole, Mr. Hunter had pick
ed ups a two stroke lead. He
finished with a 36 for a splendid
round of 70, which gave him a
two tfound score of 73-70-143.
Mr, Dunlap was away to a
bad five, six start. At the
second hole he pushed his tee
shot into the woods, whacked
his second deeper into the
'woods;' his, third- hit a..tree* amU
stayed in the pines and he fin
ishedr with a six. After that
he was George Dunlap Jr. for
the rest of the afternoon. He
holed a two at the sixth and
was out in 37.
Mr. Hunter, playing behind in
another fourball game, made no
mistakes until he took a four
at the seventh, but he made up
for this with birdies at eight
and nine to be out in 34 and
two strokes in front of George.
The 15th hole ruined Mr.
Hunter’s day’s work. He took
a six. A lazy tee shot was in
the rough, and the ball snug
gled close to a whisker. On
in three, he went for a long
putt,* and took three putts. He
had three putted twelve, try
ing to hole a three.
As Mr. Dunlap had scored a
three on the t 15th, he picked up
three strokes on his only rival
at this one hole. This great

Country Gub Notes

It had been some time since
this reporter ‘“covered” a com
petitive golf event in which
William C. Fownes Jr.’ of Oak

Mr. Fownes won the national
amateur golf championship in
1910 at the Country Club,
Brookline, Mass. He played in
the national championship at
Baltusrol, N. J., in 1926, quali

Evans, two and one. Score

championship for the Associated:

Yesterday Mr. Fownes won a*

from his daughter, Mrs. Louise
Fownes Blue and Roland Mac
